Systemic JIA

Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (Systemic JIA) is a type of inflammatory autoimmune condition affecting children. It causes persistent fever, rash, and joint pain or swelling due to the immune system mistakenly attacking the body's own tissues. Unlike other forms of arthritis, it involves widespread inflammation throughout the body, affecting organs and joints. The exact cause isn't fully understood, but it involves an overactive immune response. Treatment typically includes medications like anti-inflammatory drugs and immune modulators to control symptoms and prevent joint damage. Early diagnosis and management are essential to improve quality of life and prevent complications.
